guy combines an Oculus Rift and an omnidirectional treadmill to make the most sweat inducing version - General

[video=youtube;qpHWJMytx5I]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpHWJMytx5I[/video] TECHNOLOGY also: [QUOTE]We haven't confirmed pricing yet, but aim to get it in* the $400-$600 range (this includes tracking hardware and software, so the full Omni motion interface)[/QUOTE] gun maybe not included

i want

This would be a good way to lose some weight.

How much

Damn, I had this idea years ago :v:

How do you rocket jump?

This is almost perfect, but how do you crouch with this?

Imagine this with Amnesia...

OMG if this thing is in the $400-600 range I will shit my pants (no toxx plz). That's affordable as fuck for something that will basically immerse you completely into the world. Movement was the missing link for vr gaming.

OMG [QUOTE]Can I use my Razer Hydra while playing on the Omni? Yes, the Omni will support the Hydra.[/QUOTE]

He jumps with a button, I assume he also crouches with a button. It's cool but I don't really thing it adds to the experience that much. Definitely a good workout though.

[QUOTE=T2L_Goose;40333141]This is almost perfect, but how do you crouch with this?[/QUOTE] According to the site you can bend over to crouch. Failing that, I'm sure you could map a button on whatever wireless controller to crouch. I'm sure some industrious enthusiasts with the right dedication will figure out a more natural solution.

I wonder how this would work with Ricochet...

my god imagine the workout this sucker gives you a treadmill i would actually use might actually be worth the price compared to a regular treadmill anyways

gentlemen the answer to the obesity epidemic

I'd go for a virtual run in the Himalayas while picking shit up with Hydra hands and throwing them into the canyons below.

hot damn this would be amazing for an actual modern combat game

Imagine arma with this.

How durable is the oculus against sweat?

[QUOTE=wombo;40333692]Imagine arma with this.[/QUOTE] Pretty much this. Or DayZ. All those hours spent running through forests would be the most intense workout ever. Kids would never be fat again.

We will no longer be fat neckbeards! No! We shall be FIT NECKBEARDS!

And would that ring around the waist be retractable?

[QUOTE=megafat;40333088]This would be a good way to lose some weight.[/QUOTE] this combined with mirror's edge it'll turn you into a super slim parkour master

[QUOTE=wombo;40333692]Imagine arma with this.[/QUOTE] I just came, Can't tell how freaking awesome that'd be!

This shit right here is why I want to be a computer scientist.
